  • Kylesa – Exhausting Fire

    Kylesa – Exhausting Fire

    Exhausting Fire, the seventh album from Georgia’s Kylesa, is surprisingly flexible – though that may not be a good thing. I found I could bend its mild sludge sounds to fit anywhere into my day. At first listen, I thought the album required headphones, so the space between my ears was treated to the pleasant fuzzy…

  • Irata – Sweet Loris

    Irata – Sweet Loris

    Though Irata are relatively unknown, this Carolina trio comes with some instant sludge cred—this record was produced by Phil Cope and is being released on Kylesa’s Retro Futurist Records. Oh, and they’ve also snagged the opening slot on Kylesa’s upcoming tour. I guess that comes with the territory, eh? Thus, it should probably come as…

  • Wildlights – Self-Titled

    Wildlights – Self-Titled

    Wildlights, a North Carolina heavy-rock duo, is composed 50% of ASG.  While I’m unfamiliar with Thunderlips, the other outfit in the equation, the outstanding recent output of the former was compelling enough for me to check this out. You can definitely hear the ASG influence here, while Torche would be another strong comparison point. That…

  • The Proselyte – Our Vessel’s in Need

    The Proselyte – Our Vessel’s in Need

    In case you’re wondering, a proselyte is a new convert to a religion or a cause.  Which is to say, this Boston-based outfit might have a few proselytes of its own after they hear this EP.  Their press kit describes them as Torche meets the Melvins, and they certainly capture that lighter, almost poppier side of sludge…

  • Drawers – Drawers

    Drawers – Drawers

    By Gruesome Greg Sure, there’s certainly no shortage of silly European band names, but Drawers!? If you’re going to name yourself after furniture, at least adopt the Swedish moniker they give it at Ikea (that would be Helmer, in case you’re wondering) to avoid sounding like a pseudonym for underpants. Boy, we’re not off to…

  • Kylesa – From The Vaults Vol 1

    From the Vaults more than satiated fans eagerly awaiting Ultraviolet’s release, and also serves as an excellent primer to the Kylesa pantheon for those just discovering the band.

  • HELLBOUND RADIO Playlist – Sunday, June 23, 2013

    Hellbound Metal: “A day later than usual, but here is Sunday night’s playlist! We had all three hosts in on the show on Sunday night – for at least 20 minutes at the same time even. Sean was late getting to the show and Albert needed to leave early, so we only had all the…
